Deaths Door

Deaths Door


Every night I go to bed,
  I could have one last thought in my head.

I have sleep apnea where I can lose my breath,
  One night it could be the cause of my death.

There was a time my wife would hear my gasping for air,
  My wife would roll me over or wake me out of fear.

Now alone without my wife,
  Any night could be an end to my life. 

I’m not afraid if I should die,
  We will be together again my wife and I. 

No one to hear me gasp or hear me snore,
  No one here to keep me from deaths door.
